Bumped
No one here to say something at all?

I'm not sure, do you think he has feelings for you?

Your his sister now. He thinks of you as his little sister. He probably thinks he needs to have that protective, big brother persona around you. I suspect it's gotta do something with his upbringing and whether he had a little sister. And also it's a way to show his wife that she made the right move -- seems he is loving, caring and shows it to the people who are family.

Sometimes you gotta be the guy to invite people out. Then they'll associate you with going out.

Sucks but it works. That or they just don't legitimately like you.

>>18135932
They just don't like you.

>>18135932
Ask them if there's any plans occasionally. If you don't make yourself look interested in them they'll lose interest in you.

>>18135905

okay

>>18135915

Fuck, man. Why are women so evil?
Led Zeppelin was right.

Living with sociopath can be fine if they think of you as a good resource. So whatever you do, stay on their good side. It is bad feeling to wake up only to find out you are dead.

Also how do you know? If she managed to marry you, you are either too dumb or trusting or she is very clever. Either way it is very improbable.

Post more info and why do you think it is bad?

tampa is a fucking shit hole
the weed here sucks ass.
honestly if you wanna do any fun shit you're gonna have to drive to ybor city or clearwater/stpete

nothing happens in tampa. USF is a good school tho

>>18135879
I've heard that a lot, but what do you mean by fun shit?

I assume you can drink and get laid on campus, that's all the fun I think I'd really need in between school work.

>>18135883
> that's all the fun I think I'd really need in between school work.
yeah it could happen on campus depending on how you make friends.
but all the concerts, parties and events happen in those areas i mentioned
its only a 20-30min drive to ybor from the usf campus anyway.

better off keeping it to yourself. tell no one

Pro - honesty in a relationship is always good, they deserve to know, if they find out from someone else that will be worse

Con - it will hurt them considerably, relationship might end, things won't be the same,

Admitting it happened is an indication of regret, and that you intend to quit.

Hiding that it happened is an indication that you have no remorse for the action, and you're going to continue action until discomfort.


If you want to try and salvage the relationship, stop the affair, and tell your partner.

But, since you're cheating and don't give a shit about your partner, you might as well double dip as long as possible.

What do you mean they'll look for it there? Do your parents/whoever already know you have it?

tell your parents to stop snooping in your business or move

if they don't respect basic personal space then just take steps to GTFO and they'll learn to respect personal space.

Let me guess you don't have a vehicle because you're a degenerate stoner that has to hide his habit.

go do a traid.
carpentry.
plumbing.
concrete.
electrician.
tiling/flooring.
framing.
the list goes on and no.

no education required and you can start at the bottom and work your way up.

no way in hell a concrete company won't hire you.

>>18135801

I would say that any job wouldn't hire me, or would fire me based on my immediate lack of skills or just my penchant for fucking up. Let me put it this way, if my own cousin wouldn't hire me on to do tiling work for his company, who the hell else would?

Also, I've failed at least six times trying to post this.

>>18135817

I even failed at tagging the wrong post. Fucksake.

don't date narcissistic people period. i know plenty of 6's and 7's who are act like they're gods gift to the universe.

>>18135786

there's a lot of 2 and 3s who do to, the only difference is they have that itnernalized hate for themselves they try not to let others see.

>>18135781

attractive people are less likely to settle, but if you're not enterting each relationship with the intent of marriage, dating attractive people is fine. settle for an uggo if you want but im happy dating qts

I would vouch for that. I do agree that other factors are more important but the concrete downside is that hot people attract more attention. If you are dating someone so attractive that she turns heads on the street, remember that she's still going to turn heads when you're having a fight, basically you will have to work extra hard to keep others away and her satisfied throughout the relationship (compared to a girl who doesn't sumble over dating opportunities and doesn't get the same amount of attention).
Yes average girls get flirted with as well but not all day everyday and not while you're standing next to her.

Other than that, you'd have to be okay with being the lesser/"lucky" partner (at least in random people's eyes) and obviously someone incredibly hot will have lived a slightly different life.

>>18135752
why, sure. While it's not flawless and not always the very best measure, it's still really good. But I wouldn't let it have the deciding vote about ones career.

>>18135752

If you want to do something, then do it. You'll put rel effort in and you'll be able to study more if you care passionately about what you do. Doesn't mean it will be easy, but nothing worthwhile is easy.

>>18135846
I am just going to copy and paste this.

"The idea that intelligence can be measured by a single number — your IQ — is wrong, according to a recent study led by researchers at the University of Western Ontario (abstract). The study, published in the journal Neuron on Wednesday, involved 100,000 participants around the world taking 12 cognitive tests, with a smaller sample of the group undergoing simultaneous brain-scan testing. 'When we looked at the data, the bottom line is the whole concept of IQ — or of you having a higher IQ than me — is a myth,' said Dr. Adrian Owen, the study’s senior investigator... 'There is no such thing as a single measure of IQ or a measure of general intelligence.'"

Depends whether pics is related or not.

>>18135734

the bigger question is why are you asking? what do you normally do with friends?

tell us your situation so we can better guide you. cuz the general answer is just 'whatever you want'.

>>18135741
The pic is not related

Probably

for a lot of people, masculinity is simply a tool used to control other people.

look at what people are doing when they talk about what a 'real man' would do. its generally only brought up when trying to tell someone they're in the wrong for something, to shame them for a behavior that person considers wrong. These days its mostly used by women to shame men who disagree with them on certain issues, usually pertaining to dating.

'real men dont play childrens video games' when they want their boyfriend to quit.

until recently it was more used by people in places of power. real men go to war, for example. throughout history masculinity has just changed to fit the needs of who ever was trying to manipulate the masses.

google 'signs you're boyfriend isn't a man' and read the results. first one i found
>he'd rather go on a vacation with the boys

this is some really basic bitch level manipulation saying
>wow if you'd rather spend time with your friends than with me, that means you're not a REAL MAN!
>if you aren't going to pay for my vacation then you're not a REAL MAN!

basically women use this to control men these days, and it used to be used for men to control each other.

beyond that, there have always been personal journeys for masculinity. its not requiredb ut a lot of men take comfort in it.

one thing that has been common across all cultures and all times is that a real man doesn't submit to others. so even if someone says 'WELL A REAL MAN WOULDN'T DO x OR DO y' the one thing thats universally agreed upon is that a real man wouldn't cave into that pressure and woudl still stand by his own beliefs.

discovering your masculinity can be a fun journey in this day and age, so long as you dont let others keep score for you.

>>18135732
It's a social construct. Doesn't actually mean anything.

>>18135732

"Masculinity" is as much of a thing as you and those around you make of it. Don't worry to much about it. You do you, and try to enjoy yourself.

>>18135677

What's your budget?

I'd say get one of these. Ordered from cheapest to most expensive.

RX 460 4GB
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
RX 470 4GB
RX 480 8GB
GTX 1060 6GB version
GTX 1070 8GB

higher than that you're just paying too much
any other cards are shitty gimped versions
also the amount of memory isn't the end all be all

>>18135697
>GTX 1060 6GB version
That's the one I was looking into getting. Im looking to spend no more than $250. I take it the single fan and my default power supply should be enough then?

I'd say a GTX 1070 providing your budget allows it. A second hand 980ti may also be worth considering if you can't stretch that far.

With either of those you shouldn't really have to worry about upgrading for several years providing the current trend of raw computing power and VRAM requirements stays steady.

Don't worry about fans. They come with enough cooling out of the box unless you have plans to overclock them considerably. Just make sure your case is well ventilated.

Do you want to make some big moneyz or are you happy with average moneyz?

>>18135602
I would be fine with average salary. But both have pretty good salaries to my knowledge.

I had computer science last semester in college and failed. I sucked at programming but made an A+ in the math half.
